One thing you’ll notice with some ice cream recipes is the last step: Remove from freezer 10 or 15 minutes before serving. That’s important, especially for desserts that have a topping like this one, which can become pretty hard when frozen. Letting it stand on your countertop allows it to soften just enough to allow a fork to get through it without the assistance of a hammer or a crowbar. If you’ve ever put a candy bar in the freezer and then tried to eat it right after taking it out, you’ll know the frustration we’re talking about.
INGREDIENTS
• 2 cups confectioners’ sugar
• 1 (12 ounce) can evaporated milk
• 2/3 cup chocolate chips
• 1 cup butter (no substitutes), divided
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 3 cups chocolate wafer crumbs
• 1/2 gallon vanilla ice cream
• 2 cups salted dry-roasted peanuts, crushed
DIRECTIONS
1. In a large saucepan, bring the sugar, milk, chocolate chips and 1/2 cup butter to a boil. Reduce heat; simmer, uncovered, for 8 minutes. Remove from the heat; stir in vanilla. Cool completely.
2. Melt the remaining butter; toss with wafer crumbs. Press onto the bottom of a 13-in. x 9-in. x 2-in. pan. Cut ice cream into 1-1/2-in. slices; arrange over crust. Sprinkle with nuts. Freeze for 30 minutes. Spread cooled sauce over nuts. Cover and freeze for 1 hour or until firm. Remove from the freezer 15 minutes before serving.

Sounds delicious! Can you give a revised version for diabetics?
I can’t wait until I try the recipe.
Hi! I am diabetic and I save up all my carbs so I can enjoy a little of Turkey Hill’s Mint Chocolate Chip ice cream. I first tasted Turkey Hill long ago when I was in Lancaster, Pa. I have been a fan ever since. Jane
